REVIEWS
"Living Dead in Denmark is a hilarious and witty play by Qui Nguyen. Using Hamlet as a jumping-off point, Nguyen throws in martial arts, horror movies, pop songs, puppetry, and comic books. Eat your heart out, Ed Wood … A Backstage Critic’s Pick!" ~ Victor Gluck, Backstage
“Qui Nguyen’s comic book fantasia on Bardic themes takes characters from the main tragedies and throws them into an us-versus-zombies apocalyptic scenario, with enough rock-accompanied stage combat to keep an Elizabethan groundling satisfied. This gamely trashy treat is a perfect storm of theater - and horror-geek obsessions.” ~ David Cote, Time Out New York
